Shh don't feed the admins.

that's what I was thinking 

See, there they are already. Back off slowly and don't touch anything.

poke
touch
yell
run screaming in circles
hold up giant sign pointing at atTIos

Time to get back on-topic

Good Idea

I imagined a pony holding a machine gun and RPG (and Nspire)

January 1998 - I got my TI-83 for school that year. The first thing I did was explore the functions, and within a few minutes realised it was programmable (I'd never done any programming up until this point). I then made a "Guess-a-Number" game.

Shortly after starting back at school, the infamous DrugWars game was going around, which led me to trying more coding, such as a very primitive Pong game, and not too long after, my first version of Alien Breed (in BASIC), which ran at about 0.125fps (yes, 1 frame every 8 or so seconds). It also took a few minutes to load a level, as levels were stored as bit data in PIC's and loaded into a matrix.

16.5 years later and I'm now 32 and still occasionally coding calc stuff

That's a long time :O
And you're still here! 
It took me 3 days to find the prgm button on a TI-83+ (then I googled it). I got it for programming only

Fun fact: I visited your site quite a lot way back then. I remember it was one of the only few sites still available on calc.org until it finally shut down for good. I saw it was no longer updated so I assumed you were gone like many older coders, but then Banchor the Hellspawn arrived. That reminds me, I really need to give this game a try at one point, since I now have a TI-86. A color remake would definitively be cool.

Oh I should probably mention that I got banned from Omni because I was considered a duplicate account for LordConiupiter because I had the same IP as him (due to school internet) and the first thing I did was voting on his RPG

Haha I remember that. I think I thought that LordConiupiter was attempting to fraud the Omni contest via multiple accounts at first before I realized your post style was quite different and you were really another member. However, since there were risks of abuse of the vote system I decided to require 20 posts to vote in polls (and a year later, on post ratings too).
